Just finished season one, for a show targeted at young girls it was great. I would have been more excited for a he man reboot, and I hope they do a tie in series with this. The animation style was Ok, for what it is. People who are knocking the original MOTU style must not be familiar with animation, the art was actually really good back then. There is a documentary on Netflix about MOTU( I highly recommend it for any fans of the franchise), and a lot of skill, talent, and thought we’re put into the original. That said, I really have no complaints about the new she ra. The designs are simple, but when your targeting kids that’s what you want, the story was well written with some good themes. As far as toy potential.... and I’m Going to try to not offend anyone her, the “ girl” action figure push of the last few years seems to not be selling well at retail. I’ve literaly lost count of traditional “boy” properties that have been targeted at girls and failed... but I didn’t get as much of a girl focused vibe from this series as the original. It is a primarily female cast, but I thought they did a good job not pushing any overtly gender stereotypical agenda. Where as the original he man was pure boy targeted tistosterone, and the original she ra was Barbie with a sword, this iteration did a great job of just telling a story everyone can enjoy. My son and my daughter (4, and 6 ) bothe loved it and I enjoyed watching it with them.
